Steering wheel wobble under braking

BraveDonut · 2012-08-01 14:17:41

Noticed in the last few days that there is a bit of wobbling from the steering when lightly braking at higher speeds. I don't notice it when the brakes are more heavily applied or at slower speeds. Any ideas what might be causing this? Alignment? Thanks
